'The word honey isn’t honey. You can study and talk about honey for as
long as you like, but you won’t really know it until you taste it.’
Eckhart Tolle
This is a fundamental truth of spiritual experience. We can memorise,
intellectualise, theorise and profess understandings of spiritual
experience but until we have actually had a spiritual experience how
can we know what it is?
This is why we focus on the present moment as there is no other place
to experience anything. You can’t experience anything in the future...
it will be experienced in the Now and the same for the past.
If we are truly searching for the experience of presence all we need
do is stop... be still. Choose to become aware of what we are doing
and are surrounded by.
Tolle writes in an earlier chapter about accepting whatever is
happening now. If you are for instance feeling lazy, then immerse
yourself completely into the laziness. Feel it, experience it. When we
choose to accept what is we remove any opportunity for guilt or blame
and take responsibility for ourselves.
When we are not feeling guilty or blaming others for what is or what
is not we can then begin to look at why we are experiencing the world
with the perception we have of it.
For some of us we are happy with our perception of the world around us
- for others, not so much. If you find yourself in the ‘not so much’
category choose to be still and accept.
One way that is sure to bring you out of the present moment is
denial... so choose not to deny what is happening around you. When you
choose not to deny a circumstance you give yourself something to work
with; something to work with in the present moment -which, of course,
is the only place that anything can be worked on.
Choose the experience! Choose to feel your circumstance! Choose to
feel life! And choose to do it now... because it is the only ‘time’
you can.
Happy Manifesting!
